FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifying Soccer

Shambolic performance from Scotland.

Deservedly a goal down. Could easily be more for the Greeks.

Just as I'm typing Christie has scored a equaliser

 

[Power Ant]

I've no idea how we managed to win that game! We were atrocious and second best throughout. For large parts of the game, you wouldn't have known McTominay, Christie, or Ferguson were on the pitch. Somehow, we managed to win. Another win on Sunday and we will be close to at least a playoff place.

We were so lucky. Greece are a better team than us although we are better than we showed tonight. Three points are the most important thing though!

 

[Scotty G]

The result was never in doubt

Greece totally dominated the match until they scored, football is so strange at times.

 

[Tom]

That was our worst performance since Germany humiliated us in the opening game of the Euros but this time we, somehow, got a result. The performance is concerning but the 3 points are all that matters. Now we need to beat Belarus convincingly.

 

[Birdman]

Greece are certainly the most exciting team in our group. They seemed to cut us open more easily than any of the top teams we've faced in recent years (except Germany). And if I were a neutral they'd be a more attractive proposition at the World Cup than the backs-to-the-wall stodge we are serving up right now. Steve Clarke got out of jail there and should have started with Gilmour to keep the ball and McKenna to allow us to defend higher up the park. Dykes also contributed more when he came on than Adams did.

I'd have taken off McTominay instead of Gannon-Doak. McTominay was a mile off the pace, lost possession easily, and didn't really offer us anything on the night - I'm sure he only remained on the pitch because of his past heroics.

We should be happy we won, though.

 

[Scottish Batman]

Scotland very poor again. We're winning 1-0 but only because Belarus have had a goal disallowed for a soft foul in the build up.

 

[Scottish Batman]

McTominay has been a liability these last two games. He's about a yard off the pace.

 

[Scottish Batman]

Of course, McTominay scores but he's still been rubbish!

 

[Bandit]

The points are what is important but the performance was shocking. Really fecking shocking.

No urgency. No pace. No aggression.

So lucky that the earlier Belarus goal was ruled out.
